7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) in Austria: not individually verified

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) specifically is scheduled in Austria, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record
Not confirmed. The designation of isolated or manufactured 7-hydroxymitragynine could not be settled in Austria, and the obstacle is structural rather than evidential. Oxidation changes the indole core, so Annex II group 6 of the NPS regulation, which requires a derivation from tryptamine, does not obviously reach an oxidized fused indolenine skeleton. Group 2 permits polycyclic replacement, but no conclusive fit to that wording was established either, which leaves the compound between two definitions rather than inside one. There is no entry for it in the narcotics instrument and no demonstrated extension from a listed parent, and none in the psychotrope instrument. Synthetic origin under NPSG §1 is an additional necessary fact for the NPS route and not a universal exemption for an isolated alkaloid. No prescription listing was found under either the hydroxymitragynine or the mitragynine spelling, the medicine definition requires product specific facts that were not supplied, and the novel food and general food provisions govern marketing without determining designation. The public chemistry record fixes the molecular formula and connectivity and supplies no Austrian legal interpretation. This is a genuinely open question and it is recorded as one.

Confirm directly with Austria’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.

What Austria HAS confirmed for related substances

These are related compounds, not 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Their status may or may not reflect 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)’s. Confirm 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) directly with Austria's national drug authority or your embassy.

  • Kratoma related compound, not 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

    Not a designated drug in Austria, and the reason is a finding rather than a silence. Natural kratom leaf has no narcotics or psychotrope designation, and it sits outside the NPS Act because that Act defines a substance as a synthetically manufactured chemical compound. Food marketing still requires the applicable novel food authorisation under the EU regulation. The isolated alkaloids are a different question: mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine each have their own determination in this table, and both of those could not be settled.
